In the Baqaa refugee camp on Amman's outskirts, hundreds roamed the streets denouncing Trump and urging Jordan to scrap its 1994 peace treaty with Israel as they chanted: "Down with America...America is the mother of terror."

And angry Palestinians switched off Christmas lights at Jesus' traditional birthplace in the West Bank town of Bethlehem - where a tree adorned with lights outside Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, where Christians believe Jesus was born, was plunged into darkness.

All Palestinian factions called for a general strike and protest rallies to go ahead at midday on Thursday.

Meanwhile, the Tunisian Labour union UGTT announced Trump’s speech was tantamount to a “declaration of war”.

Leaders around the world have also condemned Trump’s announcement, with Theresa May calling it “unhelpful”.

There are fears that recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel could destabilise the already fractious region.

There are also fears that new rifts between countries could form as Muslim counties follow the advice of Malaysia’s Mr Razak and unite against Trump.

Theresa May condemned the controversial action as she reiterated the UK's support for continued negotiations between Israel and Palestine in a bid to prevent a world wide religious divide.

Mrs May said: "We disagree with the US decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem and recognise Jerusalem as the Israeli capital before a final status agreement.

"We believe it is unhelpful in terms of prospects for peace in the region. The British Embassy to Israel is based in Tel Aviv and we have no plans to move it.”
